Chapter 386 Almost Dying
The gold light of the brilliant shield, the only Imperial Artifact in Liu Feng\'s possession, shone throughout the dark vastness.
With the skies darkened by the tribulation clouds above, the golden light that came from Liu Feng\'s shield blinded many. But it wasn\'t the brightest in the fight.
Long Xian\'s claws were a terror inducing red, a red that made bloods boil. This glow made Liu Feng feel like hell itself came to him, boiling him where he stood.
And the attack wasn\'t near him yet.
The moment he assumed his defensive stance, the barriers that came from the skill that he used stacked up against each other.
They had a blue tint, and felt like multiple bee hives sandwiched together. And from an angle, it looked like a mirror.
Liu Feng bit his lips. His lips had already turned blue by now, and his eyes were shaking, his legs trembling. This was not from the pressure.
The pressure that came from Long Xian had long disappeared the moment he put up this gigantic defense.
He was draining all of his Qi by mounting this defense. The skill was that draining. And he just barely put it together, when the red claws collided with his barrier.
His arms shook. They shook so widely that his bones rattled, yet his skin and muscle remained where they were.
But a second later, the shockwave came. His skin shook, rippling like an ocean right when a tsunami would arrive. He fell to his knees, digging into the ground as the claws came closer and closer to him.
He could feel the barrier cracking. He could hear the sound, like that of glass cracking. And the louder the sound, the louder his heart thumped.
This was the last barrier between him and certain death. He didn\'t expect Long Xian to behave like this. Long Xian was going against the laws that the heavens had implemented here.
Liu Feng tried to fight back, but how could he? This was too powerful for him to escape. It pinned him on the ground, and all he could do was muster one last stand.
Inside his spiritual sea, the spiritual heart seemed to understand what situation its owner was in.
It started rotating frantically, trying to send in Qi to supplement and bolster Liu Feng\'s defense. But what good would that do. There was a limit to how much Liu Feng could output.
Liu Feng did not give up. He clenched his teeth, bit his tongue to keep the adrenaline rushing, and looked up with defiance. If he was going down, he was going down swinging.
"What pitiful resistance can you muster? This is your death, you fool." Long Xian bellowed.
Crack! Crack!
The entire barrier completely cracked and shattered, and the claws came even closer to Liu Feng. They stopped just inches above Liu Feng\'s heart.
The one thing that stopped Liu Feng from dying was his shield. It\'s golden shimmer did not dim in the face of adversity. Instead, it shone with even greater brilliance.
But in the skies, a light came to Liu Feng\'s rescue. He could see an arc of light that beautifully went across the skies.
And then, a second later, the sound came.
Rumble!
The sound of the anger of the heavens shook Liu Feng, but it also did the same to his opponent.
Liu Feng could feel the pressure he was feeling loosen to the point where he could move. And the moment he could, he did. He had no reason to stay in that dangerous position for even a second longer.
The next moment, he moved a few dozen meters away and glared at Long Xian.
Then, a high grade spirit stone appeared in his hands. The glimmer that the stone gave died the moment that Liu Feng held it. All the Qi inside vanished and flew to Liu Feng\'s dantian.
Liu Feng didn\'t even hesitate in using up a precious stone like that when he was about to face the grim reaper. The high grade spirit stone was a small price to pay for him to regain a little strength in this crucial moment.
The move that he executed, the perfect defense, was one that took almost all of Liu Feng\'s Qi.
But it also had a few benefits. When Liu Feng looked at Long Xian\'s giant talons, which had a red tint to them. But most surprising about them was that for the first time, Long Xian seemed to have actually suffered damage.
But this damage was negligible for the dragon. Long Xian looked up in the sky, at the darkened skies, his face filled with fury.
But Liu Feng saw it. A hint of it in those red eyes. Fear.
Long Xian was afraid of what was coming.
Long Xian was afraid of the heavens. All of what happened was a show. And perhaps he was counting on Liu Feng\'s death, for with Liu Feng\'s death, the terracotta warriors would no longer be a problem.
But even that did not happen. Defying all odds, Liu Feng survived this attack. And now, Long Xian had to face a tribulation.
But would Liu Feng leave him alone? When this much was done to him?
With the high grade spirit stone replenishing his stores, he had some energy left in his body.
His spear moved, and his figure vanished.
While Long Xian looked up in the skies, preparing for the inevitable strike of lighting, he saw a glimmer in the edge of his eyes.
"You coward! You dare try to launch a sneak attack?" Long Xian shouted as he tried to swat the glimmer away.
But his claws were too slow. He could see another light shine near his eyes.
And before he could close them, the spear already went through.
"Aargh! I will kill you!"
"Rumble!"
